Tampa Social Security Office’s Shocking Delay In Processing Social Security Disability Claims

There is a saying that “Justice delayed is Justice denied.” That is certainly true for Social Security claims in Tampa Bay area! We rank 117 out of 142 offices. It takes, on average, a stunning 602 days to process a denied Social Security claim from initial application to an award of Social Secuirty Disability benefits.

That is almost 18 months if you are denied your Social security disability at the initial stage! The SSA Website has state statistics on Social Security Disability hearing backlogs.

At The Law Offices of Nancy L. Cavey, your Tampa Bay area Socia Security disability denied law firm, we know that getting your social security disability benefits is crucial. You can go to the State Statistics and see:

1. The number of pending cases in Flordia.

2.  The processing times for pending cases in Florida.

3. The hearing decision results.

In our book “Your Rights to Social Security Disabilty – Things the Social Security Administration Rarely Tells You” we explain the 3 stage process for getting your Social Security Disability Benefits and the 5 things you must prove to win your Social Security Disability Case.

We applaud the Social Security Administration’s effort to reduce the Tampa area backlog and support the efforts of legislators, like Kathy Castor, for spotlighting the Tampa office delay.
